Figure 5-4 SANbox-16 Multistage with two T_Port links from each IO/T chassis
Figure 5-4
shows a Multistage Switch built from SANbox-16 chassis. Two T_Ports
on each IO/T chassis connect to the CC chassis. This provides 200 MBytes of
bandwidth between each IO/T chassis and failover in case a T_Port fails. Each IO/
T chassis distributes the available T_Port access among its user ports. If a T_Port
fails, the chassis distributes the user ports from the failed T_Port to other T_Ports
that are good.
There are 14 user ports remaining on each IO/T chassis. All user ports may be F,
FL, SL, or TL_Ports.
